Hi,

I have set up a second port for postfix to listen on specifically to bypass the message_size_limit parameter. Basically, we have a couple of IP segments that have printer scanners and the scanners email the scan to the user and so I also want to restrict access to the port so that only devices in the specific IP segments can use it.

This is the configuration for the additional port in the master.cf file:

2526      inet  n       -       n       -       -     smtpd
   -o cleanup_service_name=pre-cleanup
   -o message_size_limit=10240000
-o smtpd_client_restrictions=check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/printer_access


The contents of printer_access is:

10.169    OK
10.219    OK
10           REJECT

I don't think it should matter where the REJECT line is, but I have tried both in the first and the last position. When I try to telnet to port 2526 fom a machine with a 10.219/16 address, the connection comes up momemtarily (i.e., I get the telnet connected response) and that's followed immediately by Connection closed by foreign host. In the maillog, I see the connect and disconnect log entries and nothing else. If I comment out the smtpd_client_restrictions line in master.cf, it connects just fine.

Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
